RADVISION® Ltd, a leading technology and end-to-end solution provider for unified visual communications including video network infrastructure, developer tools and high definition (HD) room, desktop and mobile video conferencing systems, today announced the SCOPIA XT1000 high definition video conferencing room system. The SCOPIA XT1000 is the first development based on RADVISION’s acquisition in February of Aethra endpoint technology.

“The addition of the SCOPIA XT1000 marks RADVISION’s entrance into the room system market and the Company’s ability to deliver a complete, end-to-end enterprise conferencing solution,” said Boaz Raviv, Chief Executive Officer for RADVISION. “The SCOPIA XT1000 is based on years of development by Aethra and leverages the best of both companies’ technology, intellectual property and expertise. It incorporates the latest state-of-the-art video technology with features and capabilities mandatory for today’s room system deployments. The SCOPIA XT1000 delivers the perfect blend of value and a high quality, high-end experience, making it stand out amongst the competition.”

Key features of the SCOPIA XT1000 include:

• Dual Full HD 1080p 30fps: The SCOPIA XT1000 delivers two full HD (1080p 30fps) video streams as standard. The included high end PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera supports 10x optical zoom and wide angle capability for viewing details as well as an entire group. The second 1080p video stream can be used with an additional 1080p camera for complete visual coverage or with a PC for data sharing.

• High Resolution PC Data Sharing: The SCOPIA XT1000 supports high resolution PC data sharing at 30fps so presentations and even video clips can be shared with zero loss of quality. The quality of the data channel does not degrade even when the main video channel is operating at full HD 1080p 30fps.

• Embedded HD Multi-party Conferencing: RADVISION’s multipoint expertise is embedded in the SCOPIA XT1000. Support for high definition, continuous presence meetings with up to nine participants are very affordable utilizing the SCOPIA XT1000’s built-in MCU.

• Full Band Audio with Beam Forming Microphone Technology: The SCOPIA XT1000 provides 48 kHz (full band) audio encoding to ensure high clarity audio transmission with no loss of quality. Beam forming technology is used in the 3-way microphone to put the focus on the speaker while isolating background noise.

“We have long known RADVISION for its market leading video infrastructure products that were OEM-ed under the Aethra brand. RADVISON’s entry into the room system market with the SCOPIA XT1000 is exactly what we need in our market,” said Mariano Redondo General Manager of Noanet, one of the leading distributors of unified communications solutions for Spain and Portugal. “We believe our customers will find the SCOPIA XT1000 to be a very compelling solution for their high definition room system deployments with the best combination of high performance, features and price available.”

“The creation of an end-to-end product portfolio is the right move for RADVISION providing them with a significant opportunity to expand and grow,” said Andrew W. Davis, Senior Partner at Wainhouse Research. “Delivering the impressive price-performance design of the SCOPIA XT1000 is a great way to start building a room system business.”
